Fort Worth, TX.,(Sept. 14th, 2012) For the 3rd straight year the 4/10 mile, semi-banked, dirt track at Texas Motor Speedway hosted the US National Dirt Track Championships. The event draws cars and drivers from across the mid-south and Midwest with over 230 Modified and Limited Modifieds signing in from 6 states. This year along with the two Modified class, the Lucas Oil ASCS National tour was added bringing in many of the best in the Sprint Car racing business.

Friday night was qualifying night for the Modifieds and Limited Modifieds with 8 drivers from each class locked into Saturday night’s championship races. Heats, D, C and B-qualifiers and an A-qualifier in eachclass would fill tonight’s racing card. Sprint Cars would have a hot lap session to get ready for Saturday’s full show.

With the days earlier rain the track was extremely heavy taking its toll on equipment during the Limited Modified heat races. The Modified heat ran on a better track with the track changing throughout the night, developing dry slick spots come the final qualifiers.

Tomlinson Tops in Modifieds
Waco’s Eric Tomlinson rose to the top of his game holding off some of the best in the business as he scored the checkers in the 15-lap Modified A-qualifier. Tomlinson jumped into the lead early, but gave to Corey Babbitt. Babbitt would have problems in his ride at halfway and roll to a stop handing the lead back to Tomlinson. Tomlinson would then have to fend off Kansas invader, John Allen to take the win.

Twenty-four cars took the green for the Modified A-qualifier with Tomlinson getting the point coming off turn 4 trailed by Babbitt, Allen, Huckeba and Whittington. It was almost three wide for the lead on lap 3 with Babbitt getting the advantage coming to the line. In the pack, Chad Wheeler, Gould, Hebert and Chris Brown were battling it out for the final transfer spot.

Babbitt’s run out front ended on lap 7 with mechanical failure giving the top spot back to Tomlinson for the restart on lap 8. Allen gave Tomlinson a challenge using the top side, but Tomlinson held him off running the bottom. Tristan Dycus made his way into the mix running side byside with Gould for eighth, then getting the spot.

Dycus then went three wide with Brown and Wheeler grabbing the sixth position. This left Brown, Wheeler and Hebert three abreast for seventh. Hebert snagged the spot with Gould moving in on Wheeler for that last qualifying position which he got on lap 13. Back up front it was Tomlinson with slight edge over Allen and Huckeba grabbing the checkers.

Tucker Tallies Limited Modified Triumph
Gabe Tucker(Carbon) came out on top of the Limited Modified A-qualifier after falling back at the start. Tucker dropped back to fifth early, then rallied back throughout the 15-lapper to get the lead from early point man, JJ Jennings. Tucker then turned away a late charge by Derick Grigsby to score the victory.

Jennings powered off turn 2 to get the early lead in the 24-car Limited Modified A-qualifier chased by Roy Petty jr., Elliot and Tucker. Former TMS Modified winner, Whiteaker got past Tucker on lap 1 for fourth, back saw Tucker retake it after a side by side battle on lap 3. Tucker then began to pick his way to the front, getting third from Elliot on lap 5.

Tucker continued his march forward grabbing third for Elliott, while Grigsby snagged fifth from Whiteaker. Tucker snatched second for Petty and Jennings soon had Tucker on his bumper and went wheel to wheel on lap 8 with Tucker securing the lead on lap 9. In the meantime, Grigsby was moving forward going by Elliot for fourth.

Petty got crossed up in the corner giving up positions to Whiteaker, Elliot and Howell, eventually falling out of the top 10. Grigsby put Jennings back to second with three to go and tried to reel in Tucker. Whiteaker and Elliot began a side by side fight for fourth, giving Howell a chance tosneak past Whiteaker. Out front, Tucker was running his own race while Grigsby tried to run him down only to run out of laps, as Tucker took the win.
